you probably need to know the concepts of Zope Through-the-web
(TTW) and <tt>Filesystem (FS) Product Coding.</tt><br>
Some templates, scripts are in the ZODB and editable via ZMI -
the recommended style for a not so recent Zope version is
using FS Zope Products. Please identify the zope version by
using the ZMI-ControlPanel.<br>

I'm reading up on the TTW and FS stuff. Any articles/pages you
particulary recommend?<br>

I'm not sure what the previous guy did, but I've used the init
script (/etc/init.d/zope start) and the zopectl script in the
bin/ in the instance. All methods of starting give the same
errors. I have had to restart zope before now, and I've always
used zopectl and that's worked fine. It's only since the server
crashed it's not worked. I'd only used zopectl fg so I could
see what was happening on startup. Currently the site (<a

is started using the init script.<br>

Identify if you are using a custom developed Zope Product
with templates and a 'main_template' and optionally a
'folder_listing' Zope Page Template or similar. Find them by
searching in the filesystem ('Products' Folder is one option)
and in the ZMI and tell us the location if you find them.<br>

I don't think it's custom, I've put a list of the Products
directory on pastebin:<br>

I think it's pretty much just plone.<br>

Please go for portal_skins tool in ZMI , identify the current skin
and check that the chosen skin lists several layers. These layers
consist of several FS Directory View belonging to several products
and their skin directories.<br>
If you are using Plone 2.5 use this book. There is also a HTML
version free available in the web.<br>

<br>
Consult the chapter about skinning Plone, the 'custom' folder and
the setup of skins and layers. <br>

Thanks for all the links.<br>
<br>
I'm not 100% as to exactly which one is the skin that's in use, but
all of the folders in plone_skins do have files and folders in
them. The one that's most likely to be it (called custom and not
changed since 2006, which is when the site was installed). Has all
the logos, a main_template (which looks ok as far as I can tell) and
a css file as well as a base_properties directory.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
